The Tycoon's Odyssey

It was a joyous moment for Evan, who had just been narrowly saved from being caught between two groups who were on the verge of fighting to death. However, his happiness didn't last for long as a loud shout echoed from behind.

"Evan, who is this bitch?''

On coming out, Henna immediately grabbed Evan, trying to pull him to the corner.

"What does it have to do with you?" Evan answered coldly, ignoring her, and yanking his hand back in disgust.

And it seemed that she was unaware of Celina.

"Bastard! Is this how you behave towards someone who raised you?" Henna then turned towards Migol and shouted.

"See this...I told you we should have thrown him into the trash. We adopted him and raised him, but this is what we get in return."

Migol tried to calm his wife from creating another farce and while he held her wife, Migol gave Evan an incredulous gaze.

"Migol, who is this woman? Are you being kept by her? Is this what I taught you?"

He then turned towards Celina and gave her a snorted look, "Shameless woman! You are old enough to be Evan's mother, yet you're committing adultery."

"What did you say?" Celina shouted, furious at the sudden accusation.

Though she cowered before her husband, it didn't mean that she couldn't argue. As a former stall owner and manager, what fights she hadn't seen? It was just that her position with her husband was quite precarious, making her hesitant to speak anything.

"You two think that I don't know about your shady deal with James…?"

"What?" upon hearing this, both Henna and Migol squealed in surprise.

"James…who is Ja…"

"Hey!"

Migol and Henna's bodies trembled for a moment.

The atmosphere felt cold for a moment as they noticed Evan staring at them coldly.

"I can't believe you two are such dirty-minded. I treat her as my aunt, someone who cared for me, unlike you two who not only abused me but also used me for your benefit..." Saying that Evan stepped forward before whispering into Henna's ears.

"Bitch, I already know everything that you have done. I have evidence of all your wrongdoings. If you don't want the world to know your ugly truth, stop messing with me."

As soon as Henna heard him, her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, her eyes widened with horror and her body trembled for a moment.

Her eyes almost bulged out as if she had seen her ghost. She wanted to scream but no voice came out of her throat as if she was frozen like frigid ice.

Evan turned around and without bothering anymore, walked out along with Celina and his lawyer while Migol stared at his wife in shock.

"Henna, what happened? What did he say to you?"

"Henna…Henna..."

At the entrance, Evan met Suri, who seemed to be waiting for him.

Anticipating things to go off, Abhijeet spoke first, "Miss, if you want to harass my client with your stardom, please think twice…''

Martha was about to retort but was stopped by Suri, who stepped forward.

Seeing the woman stop before him, Evan raised his brows.

'Now what does this woman want? I heard that all actresses are bitches? Is she dissatisfied with the results?'

"Evan, I would like to apologize."

"Huh!"

"huh!"

Two bewildered exclamations erupted.

One from Celina, and one from Martha.

Even the two lawyers from each side were a bit startled.

Suri glanced around, her face heating up.

'What's up with this reaction? Did I say something wrong?'

She panicked inwardly, noticing Evan's blank expression as he stared at her with a piercing gaze.

However, little did she know, that Evan was just too shocked to react.

'Did a major celebrity just apologize to me?'

'Thi...This feeling isn't bad.'

Calming his tensed nerves, Evan spoke, "Miss there is no need to apologize or feel guilty and pity. What you did was right? These people are like beasts who gnaw at others. They were trying to take advantage of you and if you didn't act in self-defence, you might have been the one who would have gotten dragged down.''

Despite saying this, he couldn't let go of his grievances. He had been badly beaten and humiliated by the mob.

He could never forget that day.

The people who beat him didn't do it for the sake of justice but for fun. It wasn't something pleasant at all.

Suri felt more guilty hearing Evan's words.

"No, it was entirely my fault. As a celebrity with immense status, I should have properly investigated your circumstances. You were dragged around helplessly because of me."

Suri then took out a card and handed it to Evan.

"Please take this. If you need some help, I will try to accommodate your request.I owe you a favour."

Evan took a look and grabbed the card realizing that there was no need to refuse a connection.

He then gave a slight bow before walking away with the others.

Soon, reporters who had been waiting started to surround him, trying to pry for details about the trial.

But before they could, three bodyguards appeared to help them.

"You all?"

"Miss Suri has sent us to help you."

"Uh...Thanks..."

With their help, Evan's group finally made their way out.

Behind, Martha hissed and stomped the ground.

"Suri, why the hell did you do that? What if that bastard tries to take advantage of you? I am telling you, there is no way that he is unfazed by your beauty. He is just playing hard to get."

Suri gave a bitter smile and shook her hand, "I just felt he is a bit different. Isn't this what we all do? Extend our connection to someone who we have taken a liking of. Maybe one day, he will become a very big man."

"In your dreams...Wait a minute! Did you just say you have taken a liking to him?" Martha voiced out her thoughts in disbelief.

Suri suddenly changed her expression and glared at her, "When did I say that?"

And a few moments later, the results of the case were spread everywhere.

[Oh my god! I can't believe this. Justice has finally been served! #JusticeforSuri]

[Don't forget about Evan. Have you heard about his case?"

[This is heartbreaking. No one should ever have to endure such abuse. Sending love and strength to Evan. �]

[Shame on Henna and Migol for their despicable actions. They deserve to face the consequences of their cruelty. #ExposeAbuse]

[I hope Evan gets the justice and support he deserves. No child should ever have to go through what he had to. #SupportEvan]

[This case is a sobering reminder of the importance of speaking out against abuse and standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.]

This time, the main highlight of the discussions everywhere wasn't Suri but Evan, who had gained mass public sympathy bolstered by Suri's support and pity.

All of this directly benefited Teabox Coffee, which opened with a new vigor, marking a new beginning.
